We just bought a 2024 Tucson SEL Convenience and we love it. It does in fact have a wireless charger, its the angled bit in front the gear select, that kind of acts as the wall for that storage space with the USB ports and the 12 volt. Among those ports, you'll see a Qi symbol that illummitaes yellow when your phone is the pad and charging. Kind of a weird design, but it lets you charge your phone and still utilize that storage space without having to put anything on top of your phone while it's charging. And the material is grippy so it doesn't move while we drive!

Yeah, it's very well hidden!

I just purchased a Tucson Hybrid SEL Convenience. I've owned two CRVs and expected to get another. But there were several reasons why we went with the Tucson. The main reasons were price and warranty. The SEL was several thousand dollars less than the comparable Sport-L. And the Hyundai warranty was far longer. Driving them could best be described as different but comparable. Each had something I preferred over the other. I found the CRV interior to feel dated and very similar to my seven year old CRV that I was replacing. The Tucson interior and tech felt more up to date. Although it gets demerits for the non-tactile buttons. When it comes to styling, the CRV looks better from the front and profile while the Tucson looks better from the rear. My wife liked the look of the Tucson better so you can guess which one won the in the looks category. It's far to soon to give any meaningful owners experience. But Honda better up their game. The CRV was updated recently but they took a more conservative line. I think it's going to cost them more if they don't get on it. I've had many Honda products for decades and felt that they take a more conservative approach. They still don't have a plug in hybrid and are just introducing a real EV which they had to sub out to GM. This is the first time in 20 years that I don't have a CRV in the garage and the first time in over 30 years that I don't have a Honda auto of any type in the garage. That should say a lot.

Thanks for your great analysis. Which one feels "roomier"

Very helpful video! Currently own a 2009 Honda CRV and a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Hybrid. We are looking to replace the 2009 CRV. My wife loves my Santa Fe. We had a 2014 Santa Fe that was totalled in an accident. We weren't planning on getting 2 new cars this quickly but here we are. After watching your video, I am strongly leaning towards the Tucson. We are going to test drive both today.

My wife really wanted a 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid, but we ended up buying the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited, because we couldn't get the CRV with a non-black interior (we both hate black interiors because they get too hot in the summer). So far, a few weeks in, we're really enjoying the Hyundai, after 20 years of only owning Hondas.

Went from CRV to Tucson Hybrid. Many things I like better than the Honda. Love the "real" transmission over the CVT. Hated the constant drone of the Honda. Much quieter, and quicker. Much more fun to drive.

@BrosFOURRSpeed

Thanks for sharing!

First, Tucson is much quieter than CRV. Second, Reliablity? Do you think a CVT is more reliable than a 6-speed automatic? Do you know J.D. power? Third, Do you know that CRV have a welding door and TUSCON have a stamp door? Stamp door is more expensive, more reliable and easy to clean. Forth, Do you know HDA(Highway drive assisantce)? The CRV's reasonably price is a 3/4 the price of the Tucson. CRV is a $30,000~ $35,000 car.

Still deciding between the Tucson vs CRV vs Rav4 hybrid. My wife likes the panoramic sunroof, and heated rear seats. Test driving the limited Tucson this weekend, it seems to have all the bells and whistles, and is in stock. The Crv Touring hybrid is an additional wait local dealer says end of April to mid-May for one (yeah one, worse it isn't my preferred color). If I could get over the "Toyota" tax of an extra 4-5k, I'd go with the Rav4 hybrid. My wife has the Rav4 XLE version and it's very nice but similar to Honda they don't actually have any on the lot with the features I want. I'm on the fence. I have that I've never owned a Hyundai or Honda but have owned Toyota hybrids for years so the uncertainty for a different brand is there. We had so much snow this year I need more ground clearance than my current car offers for those two to three days a year it is needed, but if I am being honest I should just call out sick on those days.

3:50 Fantastic review - the one zonk I have with the Hyundai Tucson is the low placement of the amber turn signals and reverse lights (white). Having seen the Tucson vehicles out on the roads, I can't imagine many drivers are able to see those signals, especially if they are driving a little too close.

The sleek touchscreen is nice in theory, but not in practice on the Tucson, especially at night on the highway.

We drove both that you have on the video, traded a Hynudai and our friend opted for the Honda. Of the 4 we drove that day...The Mazda CX-50 and VW Tiguan R-line the VW was by far our favorite and then the Mazda. She opted for the Honda only because she read about reliability. I thought the Honda was loud especially on the HWY. The Mazda steering was heavy and I liked it, but we had to wait for one to come in..but the Tigaun R line felt the most premium, quietest and just drove the best for HWY driving in which she does 35k miles per year. We also felt the Tiguan R-Line was the best looking of the group. The std issue Tiguan..No. All were around 38,600.00 with the Hyundai and Mazda being slightly less.

True, but Honda is more reliable so it’s a trade off.

For me it was the Tucson because you get more for the money. Reliability wasn't a big factor for me because I don't keep my vehicles for that 3-4 years, so Hyundai's warranty covers me that long and even longer if I was to go 5+ years. Anyone that doesn't like the touch sensitive buttons, just wait for the 2025 Tucson. The whole dash changes, shifter is a stick on the column and adds a HUD. Also, a mild facelift.

The great thing about having no knobs is that it’s so sleek looking and so easy to clean the surface.
